Gastric Residual Volume Measurement in the Intensive Care Unit

Nutritional support is considered a key component of the treatment strategy for intensive care patients. Malnutrition, energy protein, and inadequate or excessive intake of other nutrients have measurable effects on tissues, body structure, body function, and clinical outcomes of patients receiving treatment. It increases hospital-acquired infections, hospitalizations, and intensive care prolongs and leads to complications. This study aimed to observe the time to reach target calories, nutritional failures, and complications during feeding in measured and unmeasured gastric residual volume patients receiving enteral nutrition under ventilation in the intensive care unite.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Mechanical ventilatory support
open enteral route (nasogastric/PEG)

Exclusion criteria

History of gastrointestinal bleeding,
parenteral nutrition support,
hospital stay of fewer than two days,
under 18 years of age

Treatment and study plan

Gastric residual volume measurement stopped.

Other

GRV is checked during routine enteral nutrition, but we think that GRV prolongs the time to reach target calories and does not reduce complications.

Primary outcomes

The difference in the time to reach target calories in patients with gastric residual volume measurement compared to those without gastric residual volume measurement.

Time frame: 10 days

The difference in the time to reach target calories in patients with gastric residual volume measurement compared to those without gastric residual volume measurement.
